Competitor Comparison

In the realm of fieldbus integration for industrial automation, key competitors for ABB’s solutions include:

• Siemens: Offers various communication modules for their SIMATIC controllers (e.g., CP modules for PROFIBUS DP and PROFINET) that provide similar fieldbus integration capabilities.
• Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley): Provides communication modules for their Logix platforms (e.g., ControlNet, DeviceNet, EtherNet/IP) for connecting to various field devices.
• Schneider Electric: Features communication modules for their Modicon PLCs, supporting protocols like Modbus, Modbus TCP/IP, and Profibus DP.
• Emerson (DeltaV): Specializes in process automation with strong FOUNDATION Fieldbus integration, offering comparable capabilities to ABB CI858K01.

While competitors offer similar functionality, ABB’s CI857K01 and CI858K01 are specifically designed for optimal performance and seamless integration within the ABB System 800xA environment, leveraging its engineering tools and diagnostic capabilities.

Selection Advice

When choosing between the ABB CI857K01 and ABB CI858K01, or considering other fieldbus options, evaluate the following:

• Existing Field Devices: If your existing or planned field devices primarily use PROFIBUS DP, the ABB CI857K01 is the logical choice. If your process requires high-speed Ethernet-based communication with advanced diagnostics and device integration, and your devices support FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE, then the ABB CI858K01 is more suitable.
• Application Requirements: For high-speed discrete control and moderate process control, PROFIBUS DP (via ABB CI857K01) is often sufficient. For complex process control, advanced diagnostics, and extensive data exchange, FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE (via ABB CI858K01) might be preferred.
• System Architecture: Ensure compatibility with your existing or planned ABB AC 800M controller and System 800xA version.
• Future Expansion: Consider potential future needs for network speed, device count, and advanced diagnostic features.
• Budget: Evaluate the cost of the module kits, field devices, and installation against your project budget.

Considerations

• Firmware Compatibility: Always verify the firmware versions of the ABB CI857K01 or ABB CI858K01 module and the AC 800M controller for compatibility to ensure proper operation.
• Network Design: Proper fieldbus network design, including termination, segment lengths, and addressing, is critical for reliable communication.
• Installation Environment: Ensure the installation environment meets the specified temperature, humidity, and vibration ratings for the modules.
• Cable Type: Use the correct cable types for PROFIBUS DP (shielded twisted pair) and FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE (Ethernet cables as per industrial standards) to prevent communication issues.
• Redundancy: For critical applications, consider implementing redundancy for the fieldbus modules themselves if supported by the specific ABB CI857K01 or ABB CI858K01 variant and controller.
